GRIDLOCK Dance presenting Between Myself
Inspired by near-death experiences, first dates, and childhood diary musings, Between Myself is a one-woman show by Madeline Maxine Roman. Through original poetry, striking visuals, and ASL-inspired movement, it explores resilience, self-acceptance, and the metamorphosis of becoming your true self.
Baye & Asa presenting 4 | 2 | 3
Using the Riddle of the Sphinx as an allegorical structure, Baye & Asa reflect on humanity’s industrial history and grapple with our collective search for blame. The piece is divided into three sections for three generations of performers.
2nd Best Dance Company presenting RED
This evening-length work walks the line between dance performance and narrative play, leaning into both text and movement to tell an abstracted version of a well known fictional story, Little Red Riding Hood, as a queer story about survival, mortality, and coming of age.
PUSH Dance Company presenting Technoculture
Technoculture is an episodic multimedia dance choreographed in collaboration with technologists by John Eric Henry & Philip Butler. Technoculture is the recipient of the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, Dream Keeper Initiative, San Francisco Arts Commission and Bayview Opera House.
EMERGE125 presenting Poly String Theory
Rea-Fisher fell in love with the Kaiser Quartett, inspiring a movement piece matching the music's frenetic energy. Drawing from her dancers' dedication, motivation, and strength, she channels their collective drive into a powerful and visceral physical expression.
Pentacle's Tour Ready Lab equips self-represented choreographers with tour ready works with the necessary skills and materials to engage with presenters and execute bookings. Artists showcasing through TRL are independently represented, and are not a part of Pentacle's Roster. Each TRL artist has their own booking contact information and should be contacted directly.
